I am getting myself in a bit of a state, I'm worried sick as I haven't felt my baby's normal movements all day. I'm only 17 + 5, and have been feeling movements for about 2 weeks. I had a midwife appointment on Monday and the heartbeat was fine.
I've had a cold drink, sat down with my legs stretched out for a long time while watching a film with DS, have prodded and poked, and still nothing.
I'm feeling really rubbish with a horrendous cold and lack of sleep, and am wondering if I'm over reacting. I'm on my own, the dad is pretty useless, we're not together, and it looks like I'll be having the baby alone. I've just put a very excited 5yo DS to bed, and have managed to keep my worry at bay while he was up, but now he's asleep and I'm sat here on my own it's all just pouring out.
Is it common to not feel so many movements, even when you're used to feeling them? Sorry if this is TMI, but I'm very constipated, so I don't know if that plays any part in it?
TIA
